You Should Go Look at Rick Perry's Facebook Page

Posted by on Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 3:33 PM

Oh my god, you guys, this is so great. I saw this Buzzfeed link about people posting a barrage of questions about women's health to Rick Perry's Facebook wall (because he's obviously an expert on women's reproductive health, right?), and I almost didn't believe it was real. I went looking to verify that it wasn't one of those funny internet images that someone makes up, and damn. Go look at the comments on any of his posts, and you'll find questions like:

Dear Governor Perry, if my IUD effectively stops my menstrual cycle, do I still need a menstrual hut? If so, can you please remind me of the dimensions (in cubits)? Looking forward to your response.

Governor Perry, I'm post-menopausal, but I'm still having hot flashes. Do you think hormone therapy would help? The therapy would not be identical to contraceptives, so would taking those still be considered sinful? Should I have my husband contact you to discuss this issue so that he can explain it to me in terms that he'll know I can understand?

Gov. Perry, I need your advice. I have a really heavy flow...

Here is a Washington Post blog post about the protest. My productivity for the day is totally shot now. A few more after the jump.

governor perry, during my last two menstrual cycles i've experienced some discomfort while using my diva cup. do you think this could signify some sort of medical condition or would you recommend perhaps a different method of insertion? thanks for your help!!!!!

Hi, Rick!. I was just wondering, I felt a slight twinge in my lower right abdomen. Could I be ovulating?

Governor, If a woman has violated her virginity by using a tampon and her husband wishes to annul the union, how much of her dowry is he entitled to keep?

grats on amateur trolling of a poorly chosen target (an irrelevant politician who will never read any of those comments)

@1: the trolling is entirely appropriate as he is the governor of Texas, a state which recently gutted their state women's health plan specifically targeting any care provided by Planned Parenthood. Care that explicitly has nothing to do with abortion.

Rick Perry is a busy guy, so I think I'll be nice and help him out.

1. Yes you still need a menstrual hut, once a month all women are unclean even if they don't actually experience menstruation. A menstrual hut is 4 cubits by 4 cubits.

2. Hormone therapy is counter to the will of God regardless of its intended usage, so yes taking it would be a Sin. Buy an ice pack.

3. Get thee to a menstrual hut and pray to God for forgiveness for your obvious sinful ways.

4. A diva cup must be inserted while singing very loudly a hymn of praise for the Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

5. Head immediately to your menstrual hut and pray for forgiveness for your sinful ways.

6. You slut, do you not understand a woman has no rights under God to Uterus or Virgina. It is God's will that only a good Christian Man may penetrate a woman's Virgina. Only a God fearing Christian Man may make decisions concerning a a woman's Uterus. By inserting a tampon into your Virgina and breaking your Hyman you have violated God's Law. Not only may your husband keep your entire dowry, he must stone you to death.

There ya go Rick, no thanks needed, it is a blessing to us all to do God's work and spread his good Word to these ignorant disobedient women.

I kind of want women to be asking these questions face to face to Santorum and Gingrich and Romney.

@3 Funny!

I'm proud to have been banished from Rick Perry's Facebook page for having, repeatedly, written the equivalent of:

"Don't feel bad about being laughed off the Presidential campaign trail, Rick -- you're still Texas' State-Sanctioned Rapist-in-Chief!"

Feel free to use any variation of my comment, if you like, and Rich hasn't banished you yet.

This one is pretty good, too...
"Gov. Perry, I have a friend in Tx. Says the AMC theater in Mesquite is playing atheist commercials. Can anything be done about this?"

OK, I'm not great at Facebook but I don't see any of this on his actual site. Does that mean he already had it cleaned up? I also don't see where I can add to this. Did they lock it down?
